What Is a Texas Telephone Solicitation / Telemarketer License Surety Bond?

The Texas Telephone Solicitation Act Surety Bond, required under Texas SB140 for Telephone and Texting firms, is a $10,000 surety bond that must be filed by businesses engaging in telephone solicitation or telemarketing within the State of Texas.

This bond ensures that telemarketers operate ethically and in compliance with state law, protecting consumers from misleading or deceptive sales practices. It acts as a financial guarantee that the bonded business will adhere to all requirements set forth by the Texas Secretary of State and the Texas Business and Commerce Code.

If a telemarketing company violates the Texas Telephone Solicitation Act — for instance, by misrepresenting a product, failing to deliver goods, or making unauthorized calls — a claim may be filed against the bond. The surety may compensate harmed consumers up to the bond amount, and the telemarketer must reimburse the surety for any valid claim.

Statutory Reference:

Texas Senate Bill 140 (Texas SB140) or the Texas Telephone Solicitation Act which is housed under the Texas Business & Commerce Code, governs the registration and bonding requirements for telephone solicitors in the state of Texas.

Who Needs a Texas Telemarketer Surety Bond?

"Telephone solicitation means a [telephone] call or other transmission, including a transmission of a text or graphic message or of an image, initiated by a seller or salesperson [initiates] to induce a person to purchase, rent, claim, or receive an item. The term includes a telephone call a purchaser makes in response to a solicitation sent by mail or made by any other means." as per Texas Senate Bill 140 (TX SB140)
